There is hereby adopted a system of numbering all buildings and lots
of land in the Township of Hardyston. Pursuant thereto, the Township Engineer
shall prepare a system of numbering which shall provide for official numbers
to be assigned for each building and lot of land in the township. A schedule
of the official numbers assigned for each building and lot on each street
in the township shall be filed and kept with the Township Clerk and with the
Tax Assessor, and said numbers shall be further placed upon the tax list of
the township.
It shall be the duty of every owner of a building to cause to be affixed and displayed on or in front of said building the street number assigned to said building or lot as indicated in the schedule mentioned in § 121-1. Such affixed number shall be maintained at all times in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
A.
The figure or figures comprising the affixed number shall
be at least two inches in height and shall be permanently and conspicuously
placed on or in the front of the building so as to be plainly visible from
the center of the abutting street or road.
B.
The color of such figures shall be in sharp contrast
to the color of the background.
The owner of any newly erected building shall, within 30 days after such building is ready for occupancy, obtain the appropriate assigned and designated number from the Township Tax Assessor and affix and display said number in accordance with the provisions of § 121-2.
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction
thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $25. A separate offense shall
be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
